Dear Bleach Pregnancy Tests,

TeenHealthFX does not recommend using bleach pregnancy tests. The most accurate way to determine pregnancy is by conducting a home pregnancy test (purchased from local drug store) or visiting your doctor. If you choose a home drug test, keep in mind that the optimal time to conduct this test is the day after your period is due and during the first morning urine.  

TeenHealthFX would also like to encourage you to speak to your doctor about safer sex precautions for the future. Doctors generally recommend that teens and young adults who choose to be sexually active use condoms each and every time they have sex to protect against unwanted pregnancies and the transmission of STDs, as well as a back-up method of birth control such as the pill or birth control shot. Your doctor can make the best recommendations for you and discuss with you how to use properly use birth control to maximize its effectiveness. 

If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
